Idle Until Urgent

You can yield back to the UI event loop in an async function through

   await new Promise((resolve) => setImmediate(resolve))

or similar constructs using setTimeout or requestAnimationFrame

Correct.

Though setImmediate is specific to IE/Edge.

    setTimeout(resolve, 0)

will allow any queued events/macrotasks to occur, and then immediately resolve.

    requireAnimationFrame(resolve)

will wait until the browser is ready to render another frame, and then resolve.
